Proceeding contribution from Norman Lamb (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Broads Authority Bill (By Order).


Broads Authority Bill (By Order)

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way, although there is a danger of my going off on what is a hobbyhorse of mine. The principle is that a direct election should be held for the Broads Authority, but how it is done is a subject for a separate discussion. I always favour a fair voting system—unlike those who belong to the other two main parties here.
